Lyrics
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band
Come on and hear, come on and hear
It's the best band in the land
And if you care to hear
The Swanee River played in a-ragtime
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime
That raggy beat gets in your feet
Come on and meet
Alexander's ragtime band
[COMPANY & (WOMEN)
No business, that show business
There's no business that's half so thrilling
(Cowboys, the tumblers, the wrestlers, the clowns
The roustabouts that move the show at dawn)
(The music, the spotlights, the people, the towns)
(The thrill of that applause when you go on)
You're standing out in front on opening nights
And there's your billing right up there in lights
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold
You may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
You go on with the show
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere can you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you, you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
Let's go on with the show
Let's go on with the show
(No business like show business)
Let's go, go on with the show
